Hmmmh, afaik, "find" as you composed, does only find exact matchings to
gtk.

What about this: 

cd /
find . -name *gtk*

Then you should find gtk, you could mostly then do 

./configure --with-gtk=/your/path

Most apps require the path to your gtk-config. But gtk-config is only on
your system if you selfcompiled gtk or you
have also the devel rpm's or (deb's) installed. e.g gtk-devel.rpm
(gtk-devel.deb)

Hope this helps a bit
